For single eligible guys only
You know that at least 1/4 or as many as a 1/3 of ladies profile on match.com are fraudulent. Either trolls from Nigeria or Russia fiancee visa wannabees.
My friends and I discussed watch to watch for.

1. No hot lady under 30 is looking for somone between 18 and 70
2. Regardless of where they say they live, look to legit referances to the geographic location in their page. If it's all generic sweet talk, and no criteria listed for ideal match, then it's a fraud
3. If the grammar and spelling is juts odd, watch out.
4. If they wink at you from some other part of the country, there is a very high risk of fraud.
5. If they send you a naked pic unsolicited it is guaranteed fraud.


If I was a class action lawyer with resources, I'd have nailed that website a long time ago.
Be careful guys, watch your wallet, and good luck.

6. Reminds me of the mother who unkowningly hooked up with her son.
Neither the woman or son was honest during their correspondence and they sent each other face pics not of themselves. The e-mails got hot and sexy and they agreed to meet at a park after it had closed for the night. Police checking the park saw the two there and asked why they were on the premises after hours and they unwittingly, probably because they were still in shock and too embarrassed to think clearly, told the police everything.

This happened in France and was in the news not long ago.

I encountered one on match. If the person gives you an email address, always google it.
